These inmates are from the Hutchinson Correctional Facility which was previously known as the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory. The Hutchinson Correctional Facility was started by Governor John Martin in 1885. The goal of the reformatory system was to reform young adults through vocational training and academic education.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
